Advantages: packed full with techniques and information; a serious well presented resource Disadvantages: some may find it pricey (although not if you remember the almost 4 hours viewing time!)
...due to their training in qigong / taiji. I have now joined a tajiquan course which is quite good, but I find the explanations (I like to know the why of the how, if you know what I mean...) lacking. I therefore decided to investigate theory and method and happened upon the YMAA and Dr Yang Jwing Ming's collection of most helpful, most detailed, most interesting books and DVDs.
The Qigong Massage DVD is the first I bought, after some internal deliberation, ... ...Most Taiji / Qigong DVD fall into two categories: either they are an airy-fairy new-agey load of ... not much, or they are absolutely impossible to follow as they are presented by people who can only demonstrate - not teach. This DVD is in a class of its own.
Dr Yang taught engineering (his PhD, which gives him the title of Dr - he is not a physician - was in mechanical engineering) and he seems to have acquired excellent skills for transmitting ...
Advantages: a clever film and rather enjoyable Disadvantages: typical van damme acting but hard to play two people
as van damme films go this is probably the best he has done.playing to parts at once as brothers seperated at birth and reunited 25 years on is admirable given van dammes lack of acting quality.basically a story of two different brothers seperated as infants due to the brutal slaughter of their parents by chinese underworld gangsters.it revolves around a bridge that was constructed using the expertise of van dammes parents who were then executed ... ...the bridge profits over the years.their bodyguard at the time arrived to late to save his parents and with the babies being left in the car he grabbed one and headed off while the childminder made off through the bushes with the other.one was left and raised in hong kong while the other was taken and raised in france then bought to america to run a karate business.basically the bodyguard takes chad(van damme) to hong kong to find his brother alex(also ...
Advantages: See what life might have been like during the Qing Dynasty Disadvantages: it left the viewer confused with unanswered questions
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon takes place during the Qing Dynasty and tells the story of woman and men warriers and a sword known as the Green Destiny. I was utterly confused when watching this movie and had a hard time grasping my head around the plot. This story line was very difficult to follow and was needed to be searched on the Internet to discover the plot. In my opinion, the movie didn't answer any questions that were set up in the beginning ... ...plot and the characters of the story were to confusing that it was distracting from the effects included. Personally, I beleive that Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon was a pointless movie in which there was no plot but just a series of random events that made transitions through the movie. ...
Advantages: Culturally accurate (As I can tell), Comical, Excellent martial arts & Choreography. Disadvantages: Not too deep, more for action than story.
I watched this movie as a recommendation from a friend. - And I'm glad I did. This is one of Jackie Chans' first films and helped hurtle him into stardom. Don't be put off by my special effects rating, a good martial arts film doesn't need them! The choreography is outstanding and carries the film from start to finish. The story is of a young unruly martial arts student (Jackie) who is forced by his father to leave town to train with a legendary ... ...of all, feared by new apprentices'. The young Jackie later discovers the legend is all but an old drunk. He dismisses him, until later through a funny and riveting series of events their paths meet again. As the film continues, Jackie's character, Wong Fei-Hung, is taught 'drunken Kung Fu'. In the mean time it is revealed an assassin has been sent after Wongs' father. I think it is plain to see that this is soley a martial arts movie; the story there ...
Advantages: Great karate action and cute love story! Disadvantages: None to say.
I have loved the Karate Kid movie since it first came out when I was young. I was not a karate enthusiast or anything like that but I found the movie to be entertaining and enjoyable to watch over and over again. Ralph was a young teen idol when this movie came out and Elizabeth was a great counterpart for the show. She adds a little romance to the show! No one will ever forget Pat and his unique karate teaching. "Wax on, wax off" will forever be ... ...would capture anyones eye. The championship is obviously the most climactic moment but I found it to be suspenseful even though you knew that Ralph was going to try the "crane technique". Now that the DVD is out with special features, well...I won't be missing out on this. And if you enjoy this one, I suggest getting Karate Kid II as well - another inspiring story of courage and strength. And if you like Elizabeth Shue in the Karate Kid, I suggest ...
